"I hope everything goes well this time, and my clan can't afford to toss again. The old patriarch looked at the red insect eggs on the high platform, and his eyes were a little complicated.

"Yes, after all, this is the eldest brother's lifelong wish, if he is not absolutely sure, he will not have such a bold move. Elder Yin was very affirmative, "He did all this not to become a sinner in his clan. ”

"Whether what you have done is right or wrong is not clear for a while, and it can only be left to future generations to judge. The old patriarch sighed.

"I am ready to bear all my sins, but I hope to see the light of my people shine again in the skies above this continent before I die. "Elder Yin said.

"First of all, we must choose a suitable contractor, go down, don't let the Celestial Shadow kid wait, everything here will be guarded by other clansmen for the time being. The old patriarch glanced in the other direction of the high platform, where there were still three clansmen.

Elder Yin nodded, and the two of them flew down the mountain together.

At the foot of the mountain, in the meeting hall of the Han clan, Lin Tianying sat quietly inside, with a trace of helplessness on his face. Less than ten minutes after he returned home, the Han clan sent someone to come, saying that the patriarch had been invited.

After entering the Han clan's clan land, the clansman who brought Lin Tianying here did not take him directly to the patriarch's residence, but asked him to wait in the council hall.

This move surprised Lin Tianying and was also a little puzzled, this was the place where the middle and high-level members of the clan were meeting, and he had only come in once when he was retrieving the lost holy relics in the clan, explaining to the clan elder the details of how he had found the cave.

This time he was in a hurry to find him, or to meet in the council hall, Lin Tianying realized that the matter that the patriarch talked to him about today was not simple. But in the Han clan, there are not many things that can be related to him, except for his parents, only the holy relics that have been recovered.

Lin Tianying clearly remembered how fierce the reaction of the clan was when he told the clan elders that he might find the holy relics, and as soon as he understood the situation, he asked the only six elders in the clan to accompany him back to the cave.

The elders carefully searched everything in the cave, carefully tracing the cracks above the pattern, and even turning the ground upside down, just to bring the blood-derived cordyceps and what was buried underground back to the tribe intact.

Lin Tianying is indifferent to everything in the clan, although the Han clan saved his life, but because of his parents, Lin Tianying still doesn't have much affection for the Han clan, and will go to find the lost holy relics, also so that their family can be reunited as soon as possible.

It's just that after his mother knew that the holy relics in the clan that he had recovered had been fused with the eggs of the Demon Slayer Blood Butterfly and needed to find a new contractor, Lin Tianying also knew that his mother had applied to the clan to make him a contractor.

Lin Tianying didn't have much interest in this, but he didn't say anything, but before receiving a reply from the clan, Lin Tianying had already gone to the Dream Spirit Martial Academy.

Is it for this? Lin Tianying secretly guessed.

At this moment, two old men walked in one after the other, their steps steady but silent, and their bodies exuded powerful Yuan Spiritual Power fluctuations.

"I've seen the patriarch and the hidden elder. Lin Tianying hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, although he didn't have much affection for the Han clan, but in the face of the elders' minimum etiquette, he still had it.

The two old men smiled and nodded, and took their seats in turn.

Seeing that Lin Tianying was still standing, the old patriarch spoke: "Sit, don't be restrained, I came to you this time for the matter of the Spirit Butterfly Contract." ”

"Sure enough. Lin Tianying said secretly, and immediately sat down.

"Your mother brought up the matter of the contract, although you didn't stop it, but I know that you have a lot of grievances against the Han clan, and I want to hear your true thoughts. The old patriarch continued.

"I can't talk about resentment, it's just that I don't have a good feeling. After a moment of silence, Lin Tianying said truthfully: "I don't have much thought about the contract, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, I just hope that you don't use this matter to make other demands on my parents." ”

The patriarch gave Elder Yin a look, and Elder Yin spoke, "I admit that I broke up your family at the beginning, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for you. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Tianying was puzzled.

"Before that, you need to know the long history of the Han clan, I don't know if you are interested in listening to it. The old patriarch said again.

"I'm listening. Lin Tianying said, he really didn't know much about the history of the Han clan, and he had never been to the library pavilion in the clan, which the old patriarch also knew.

"It has been nearly six hundred years since the establishment of the Cangyun Kingdom, and our Han clan has existed before the establishment of the Cangyun Kingdom, and it is also one of the founding heroes of the Cangyun Kingdom. The old patriarch said slowly.

"At that time, this continent was in an era of war, there were constant disputes between various countries, and the people of Li were in dire straits, the ancestors of our Han clan united with twelve other powerful families to pacify the surrounding seven countries and jointly establish this Cangyun country. ”

"As far as the situation at that time is concerned, a strong person with domain void-level strength, plus several powerhouses with nirvana-level strength, is enough to support the high-end combat power of an empire. Not to mention that the Cangyun Nation, which was established by our thirteen families, has more than a dozen domain void level and nearly a hundred Nirvana-level powerhouses, which is enough to stand tall in this troubled world. ”

In order to resist the existence of the Cangyun Kingdom, other countries also joined forces and stopped fighting frequently, and the countries began to recuperate, and the era of war and chaos officially ended. ”

"In the following era of peace, the king of Cangyun Country will be held by the patriarchs of our thirteen families in turn, and they will rotate every ten years. ”

"This kind of peace has lasted for more than 300 years, and although there are constant estrangements and contradictions between other countries, considering the existence of Cangyun Country, there has never been a big fight. ”

"Until the Wancang Continent launched that world-class war, the strongest Tian clan at that time was responsible for guarding the north, and our other twelve families also sent nearly two-thirds of their combat power to support the north, combining the remaining combat power with other small families nearby to establish twelve ancient cities to guard the southern region with great difficulty. ”

"It is also this battle that completely changed the ruling class of Cangyun Country, in this battle, only five of our thirteen families remained, although the clansmen of the other families also gathered after the war, they basically existed in name only, and the position of the ruler was replaced by the families that rose up in this battle. ”

"And among the remaining five families, our Han clan has the weakest preserved strength, and it has not recovered for nearly a hundred years, let alone a domain void-level powerhouse. ”

"The patriarchs who took over the throne of the king before all have domain void-level strength, although this is not explicitly stipulated, it can be regarded as the default rule of our thirteen families. ”

"But after the war, the Cangyun Kingdom clearly stipulated that the king must have domain level strength, otherwise it is not enough to show the prestige and strength of the country, but considering that our Han clan is also an ancient family, and it played a vital role in the first war in the south, so our clan was not excluded from the ruling class, but even so, the position of the king is basically not related to my Han clan. ”

"Why is that?" Lin Tianying couldn't help but ask.

"In the battle in the south, thanks to the Demon Clan, our bloodline advantage is basically gone. The old patriarch said sadly.
